That’s How The Cookie Crumbles
October 26, 2009 • written by Carissa Quiambao and Adriana Jones Lima
Six chocolate chip cookies are lined up on a sleek black lab table, ready to be judged and eaten for a coveted five extra credit points. Each cookie has what students hope will be the perfect amalgamation of ingredients to win first place.
The week before the contest students had been diligently baking to produce the perfectly crafted chocolate chip cookie. Many were optimistic that their baking skills proved victorious. “I felt really confident in my cookies because my mommy bought Ghirardelli chocolate chips,” said junior Alejandra Cardenas.
Some students, like junior Amanda Martin, disagreed, “Just because we have Ghirardelli chocolate doesn’t mean we’re going to win,” she said to fellow team mate Cardenas, “It’s all about the conversions.”
Those given the privilege to judge these cookies consisted of a wide variety of people, including teachers, administrators, and even students. The judging is graded by color, texture, taste, and overall appearance of the cookie, each category with a potential two points. “I have high expectations,” junior Nicole Harbert, one of the few student judges.
In the end it was sweet victory for some groups, including Group 3, consisting of Ali Giron, Andrea Aranzamendez, Marilen Atienza, and Melissa Nyguen.
“Some of them have been pretty sweet,” Couling said. “Students may have been making up for the lack of diet soda.”
